Higher significance level

[Iulia Andreica]

Deal all,

I am running an OLS regression analysis and the significance level is set by default at 1%, 5% and 10%. I was wondering if is there a way to increase the significance level to 2%, 6% or 11% for instance ?

Below are the commands I use to run the regression analysis.

regress TobinsQ green_acquisitions int_green_rep reputation int_green_EPI EPI cash size cb_acquisitions age
outreg2 using mypreciousresults, word replace

Thank you!

Regards,
Iulia

Iulia:
you can set the -level()- option according to your research goals:

. use "C:\Program Files\Stata16\ado\base\a\auto.dta"
(1978 Automobile Data)

. reg price i.foreign, level(98)

      Source |       SS           df       MS      Number of obs   =        74
-------------+----------------------------------   F(1, 72)        =      0.17
       Model |  1507382.66         1  1507382.66   Prob > F        =    0.6802
    Residual |   633558013        72  8799416.85   R-squared       =    0.0024

I don't understand #1 unless it's a question about outreg2 (from SSC, as you are asked to explain).

regress has a default confidence interval of 95%, which is a different question.

Please show your output and/or use a reproducible example. We can't use your data to reproduce your output.

FAQ Advice #12 explains this advice. https://www.statalist.org/forums/help#stata is a direct link for you.
